Name and Location
Wynyard carnalite project, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Client
Karnalyte Resources and Gujarat State Fertilisers & Chemicals (GSFC) made a strategic investment of about $44.7-million in Karnalyte in 2013, resulting in GSFC holding a 19.98% ownership stake in Karnalyte. The strategic partnership between Karnalyte and GSFC provides Karnalyte with a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, and is expected to provide GSFC with a secure supply of potash for years to come.

Project Description
The project proposes the construction of a solution mining facility at Wynyard, Saskatchewan, to produce a high-grade (97% purity) granular potash product.

Karnalyte intends to build the facility in three phases, with Phase 1 expected to produce an estimated 625 000 t/y, increasing by 750 000 t/y in Phase 2, and totalling 2.125-million t/y with the addition of Phase 3.
